No matter where I begin, this is going to sound ridiculous. So here goes nothing. Ben-To is an anime that can’t be expanded on much further than the title itself. It’s an anime about bento. It’s an anime about lunch. That’s literally it. But for a premise so stupidly simple, it was a thoroughly entertaining watch.
The series starts with our protagonist, Yo Sato, innocently minding his own business as he enters a supermarket with the nonchalant...

In 1987 in the old BBC building on Oxford Road, Manchester, a comedy set in a spaceship was being made, one that would gain a huge cult following over time. A whole 27 years later and the Red Dwarf cast are finally back in the show’s home town.
Paying a visit to the MCM Manchester Comic Con were Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Robert Llewellyn (Kryten), Hattie Hayridge (Holly) and Judy Pascoe (Mechanoid Camille). Before any of them had even opened their...

Season Two of Steins Gate has finally clattered its way through to me and now that I know how everything ends I can sleep well at night once more, but is it really that good? This will probably contain spoilers for you if you haven’t seen the first series.

Falling Skies is a US sci-fi series created by Robert Rodat and produced by Steven Spielberg. It takes place six months after an alien invasion leaves the planet devastated. The world’s power grid has been neutralised, military forces decimated and 90% of the human population is gone in just a few short days. We don’t know why they are here or what they want, just that they are rounding up 8 to16 year olds to fit with a biomechanical...

In my time writing for this site, I have talked to and met some very interesting people; game developers, voice actors, and those involved in comics and manga. Recently at the MCM Expo in London, Namco Bandai and ShiftyLook brought a selection of highly talented comic book writers and artists to discuss their various webcomic series‘ based on old disused Namco Bandai properties. I was lucky enough to meet Dean Haspiel, artist for the fantastic...

Following on from yesterday’s Hero Mode reveal trailer, Namco Bandai have today released a new video of Hero mode as the first part of a series following the adventures of “Bandai Sama” – A Saiyan in an alternate universe of DBZ.
The first video in the series simply shows us the beginning of Bandai Sama’s creation via Ultimate Tenkaichi’s Hero Mode, but that doesn’t take away from the excitement as we get...

6th August 2011 marked the 25th anniversary of the successful Nintendo series, Metroid. Nintendo has already celebrated the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda this year, as well as Super Mario at the end of 2010. Unfortunately Nintendo have not announced any plans to celebrate as of yet, but considering that Zelda has a celebratory symphony, and Mario acquired a special re-release of Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii, hopefully Metroid will...

Warning, spoilers below
As of midnight the BBC have released three new images from the series opener (airing later today) which can only be described as shocking.
